New OA Restore brace from Ottobock

TEMPE, Ariz., June 6, 2013—Ottobock is pleased to announce the launch of its new OA Restore brace designed to help bring non-surgical relief to patients diagnosed with mild to moderate medial or lateral osteoarthritis (OA), as well as patients who have OA in combination with ligament instability. This is in continuation of the efforts and investments that Ottobock is making to strengthen its bracing portfolio following the successful launch of ACL and post op braces.

Recognizing OA as a challenging condition to treat due to a range of concerns such as clinical obesity to difficulty tolerating corrective force, Ottobock’s focus was on directly addressing those issues in order to effectively reduce pain and bring improved mobility to patients.

With a unique hinge design that distributes load more effectively for stabilization and an easy-to-tolerate corrective force, the OA Restore brace offers a significant advantage to its users. “Helping patients to live everyday life is our number one goal and we’re seeing those results with the OA Restore brace,” says Gaurav Mishra, vice president of global sales and U.S. Orthopedic Division head for Ottobock. “The OA Restore is another good addition to our bracing line. Its key features of a arthokinematic hinge and tool-less technology are providing relief and even delaying more aggressive treatment, and it’s rewarding to be able to measure that positive impact on quality of life.”
